EVE General Discussion

Or just use your cap ships instead of bombers and you will be done and dusted in no time.

Something like 20 cap ships will take out a iHub in what.. 10, maybe 15 mins max.

TCU's and SBU just pop.

You choose to use bombers to grind structures, nobody is forcing you to.

But several hundred people don't crash a node.

It takes several thousand people to crash a node. And nobody bothers, in general, until there's a reason (like, for example...an important structure like a station coming out of reinforcement....)

Sure, you maybe had "bigger" fights (I assume you just mean more people -- but to me size is more than just the raw amount of people. The fights you are referring to are likely much smaller in actuality) -- but that doesn't mean nodes didn't crash.

Nodes have been crashing for years, and the #1 cause is during the exit window of reinforcement.

The timing window where ownership is determined and both sides want to shove as much **** as they can to either claim something new or protect what they have.

Nodes havent come down in a battle since before the attempted headshot of VFK several years ago. They are a new thing that is only happening in this war.

The nodes are going down with only 600 vs 600 man fights. These numbers are nothing at all special and fairly run of the mill for the last 5 years. The only thing different is the drone doctrines being used by both sides.

So tell me how 1000 mega dont crash the node like the 300 carriers do.

CCP have been wrong in the past, just look at titan tracking, remote DD, AOE doomsday, FW exploits, tech moons and so forth that at the time were deemed perfectly ok untill we went and abused the living hell out of it.

Having thousands of drones being deployed, recalled and abandoned are bound to cause issues.

I understand that you've been fed a sack of lies about how this all works, and being the good communist party worker you swallowed it all whole without question but I'm going to ruin a little something for you here:

Slowcats don't recall drones nor has the order ever been given to recall them, and the secret as to why you never bother to tell your carrier to recall its drones is in the name of the fleet comp.




Slowcats die when you field the right thing, but its hilarious to sit and watch the CFC demand that we feed kills into their ******** sub cap monstrosity. I remember them making similar claims about us just wanting people to warp fleets into tracking titans and how absurd the idea sounded to them, and yet here they are screaming for nearly the same thing 'make them fly into our guns CCP, they're not doing it right"."

Sorry but you MUST bring the right tools to do a job and bringing 500 ships to a fight that are strictly inties and dictors isn't helping any node anywhere and yet you feel perfectly justified in your doing so and today you've all shown collectively that not only do you think you should be able to, but that also that the other guy should just lose because you've assembled so many people against your enemies.

The CFC motto: If raw numbers can't beat it it must be bad game design.

Oh also that link:

So again, why is this only happening with slowcats deployed and with far fewer numbers?

CCP have said they have fixed this issue several times and it keep on happening.

Much more likely it is different issues each time.

The real question is: why do people want incentives to blob the **** out of nodes?

I'll never understand it.

Fix sov/find a better way to handle sov, and the problem will fix itself.

DONT ROCK THE BOAT

And whatever you do, dont make PL log into EVE

I'm sorry you think we haven't seen this many before but you're wrong, whats worse, is we've actually seen more, but do go on grasping at straws
